Star Wastebasket Is Loaded
Weekly With So-Called
'News' Stories

Just out of idle curiosity the pub-
lisher of The Star last week laid
aside all the so-called "news" re-
teases that came into the office in-
stead of chucking them into the
wastebasket, as is the usual pro-
cedure with such "news."
We were indeed surprised with
the accumulation as we checked it
Monday morning. There was a to-
tal of 92 pages of mimeographed
and printed "releases" which would
mak e approximately 966 column-
inches of type, or 60.3 columns of
reading matter in The Star's short
,columns-the equivalent of better
than 12 pages.
Out of this deluge of "news" we
selected three for what we call our
"bull bank"-stories that can be
used any time within two or three
weeks when we are short of copy.
The greater part of the releases
came from state agencies, such as
state department of education, in-
dustrial commission, hotel commis-
sion, forest service, etc., etc., while
others came from large manufac-
turers who place paid advertising

Member State Industrial Commis-
sion Is Guest Speaker At
Luncheon Meeting

T. J. McIntosh, member of the
Florida Industrial Commission, was
guest speaker at the luncheoti.meet-
ing of the Port St. Joe Kiwanis
Club held Wednesday at Hotel St.
Joe. Other guests were H. E. Rich-
ards, new elementary school prin-
cipal; Frank Pate, a new member;
J. D. Booth, Jimmy Philyaw, Philip
Chatham and M. P. Tomlinson.
Mr. McIntosh spoke on the or-
ganized safety council and its pro-
gram of the control of accidents in
Florida. He cited the tremendous
loss of life and limb in the state's
industries which, he said are mount-
ing in number each year yet could
be reduced if proper precautions
were taken.
He told of the field inspection
service rendered by the commis-
sion, with its engineers trained to
visit plants regularly and advise
safety methods and make inspec-
tions. He also spoke of the educa-
tional program in use whereby fore-
men and plant executives are given

Plans Go Forward

For Kids' Day Fete

St. Joe Kiwanis Club Participating
In Nationwide Event To Raise
Funds for Underprivileged

Port St. Joe has joined the parade
of cities across the continent that
will observe National Kids' Day on
Saturday, September 23.
Sponsored locally by the Kiwanis
Club,-the National Kids' Day cele-
bration is designed to focus public
attention on the needs of under-
privileged children and to raise
funds with which to meet these
needs. More than 3,150 Kiwanis
clubs throughout the United States,
Canada, Alaska and Hawaii are
planning local celebrations and ac-
tivities for Kids' Day.
"Plans for observance of this sec-
ond annual Kids' Day in St. Joe are
rapidly nearing completion," G. F.
Lawrence, president of the local Ki-
wanis Club, said yesterday. "Theses
plans, which will be announced in
detail next week in The Star, are
aimed at actually trying to do some-
thing about the needs of underpriv-
ileged youth here in our own com-
munity."
The St. Joe Kiwanis Club is co-
operating with the National Kids'
Day Founndation, a non-profit cor-
poration which was organized to
stimulate a general awareness of
youth problems, Lawrence said.
Unlike many special days on the
calendar, National Kids' Day is not
a commercial device, it is pointed
out, and the only ones who will
profit from it are underprivileged
children. Funds raised through ac-
tivities in connection with National
Kids' Day in Port St. Joe will be
spent to benefit underprivileged
children in this community.

Florida, on her official visit to Gulf
Chapter 191.
"Red Sails In the Sunset," the
theme selected by the worthy ma-
tron, Ruth Ramsey, for this occa-
sion, was evidenced by the nautical
setting of the banquet hall, tables
representing the ocean, on which
sailed beautiful ships with red sails;
by colorful floating sea grass and
a variety of ,shells along the sea-
way; by napkins and place cards
continuing the theme, place cards
being lovely hand-made ships also
carrying red sails; by the floral
background of vari- colored sea
oats.
Completing the picture, attrac-
tive and delicious plates, planned
and prepared by the ladies of the
Woman's Society of Christian Ser-
vice,. were beautifully served to 61

Our Country T Right or Wrong


WHERE DO YOU STAND?
Basically there are but two political philoso-
phies. One sets the citizen above the state-that
is what we have had in this country under our
representative form of government. The other
sets the state above the citizen and results in the
oppression that has bedeviled the human race
throughout the ages.
Currently, socialism and communism represent
the ultimate in the latter philosophy. That is
why present-day planners who advocate greater
and greater government domination over the in-
dividual avoid these names like the plague. They
promote government ownership of industry, they
endorse compulsory medical taxes, they tour the
country at the taxpayers' expense in support of
federal power "authorities" and constantly harp
on the theme that the capabilities of private in-
,dustry are inadequate. Their program from start
to finish is socialism, and yet if it is so defined
they cry "libelous."
Regardless of the sensitivenss of the disguised


socialist, it is of the greatest importance to define
his aims. If this country is to abandon the sys-
tem of government upon which it was founded,
let's do it deliberately, not by subterfuge.
Looking at things to come, the editor of The
Star feels that the time is nearing when the indi-
vidual will soon find that it is up to him to either
accept the largess of a benvolent government
which eventually will place him in a slave sta-
tus, or to rise up on his hind legs and state his
belief that the only real security for any citizen
is his individual freedom of opportunity.

Gene Kelly Supports Kids' Day

. -.


The popular young star of many Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musicals,
Gene Kelly, draws admiring glances from seven year old Charlotte
George, of North Hollywood, Calif. as he tacks the first 1950 National
Kids' Day poster on his dressing room door.
Spearheaded by the more than 3,150 Kiwanis clubs throughout
the United States and Canada, Kids' Day will be observed this year
on Saturday, September 23. It is a joint project of Kiwanis Inter-
national and The National Kids' Day Foundation, Inc., designed to
focus additional attention- upon the problems of underprivileged
children. It is expected that fundraising events conducted o Kids'
Day will benefit millions of children for money raised in a com-
munity remains in that community to be spent for youth under the
supervision of the local Kiwanis Club.


Migratory Bird

Regulations About

Same As Last Year

Season Opens September 15 With
Marsh Hens and Gallinules
As Fair Game

Migratory bird regulations for
Florida will remain substantially
the same for the 1950-51 season as
they were last year, according to
the state game and fresh water fish
commission.
Regulations released to the com-
mission by the United States Fish
and'Wildlife Service are as follows:
Open season on ducks, geese and
coots extends from November 27 to
.January 5. Hunting permitted from
one-half hour before sunrise to one
hour before sunset, except on open-
ing day, when shooting will begin
at 12 noon. Daily bag limit on ducks
was set at four, with the bag limit
including one wood duck only. Pos-
session limit is eight. Daily bag and
possession limit on geese was set
at two, which can include two Can-
ada geese or two white-fronted
geese, and in addition three blue
geese. Daily bag and possession
limit for coot was set at 15. Fed-
,eral duck stamps will be required
for the taking of ducks or geese.
Hunting season for marsh hens
and gallinules extends from Sep-
tember 15 to November 13, with
hunting permitted from one-half
hour before sunrise to sunset. Daily
bag and possession limit was set
at 15, including a single species or
mixed bag.
Open season on mourning doves
extends from December 17 to Jan-
uary 15, except in Dade, Monroe
and Broward counties, where the
season will extend from October 1
to October 30. Hunting permitted
-daily from 12 noon to sunset. Daily
bag and possession limit was set
at 10.
The commission points out that
the regulation barring use of auto-
matic loading or repeating shot-
guns capable of holding more than
three shells will continue in effect.
Rifles of all kinds are prohibited in
the taking of any migratory birds.

normally is ndn-controversial, as it

was particularly hopeful, sending
in four releases, while the Univer-
sity of Florida ranked next with
three. Two each were received from
the Florida State Chamber of Com-
merce, National Wildlife Federa-

the Florida Industrial Commission.
Once in a great while something
of interest to readers of The Star
is found in this weekly mess, but
generally, after looking at the re-


turn address in the corner of the
envelope, they are consigned to the
wastebasket unopened.
We have endeavored at times to
stop this flow of crap across our
desk and into the wastebasket by
informing the senders that we defi-
nitely do not want to receive it, and
to remove the name of The Star
from their mailing lists-but to no
avail, since the lads who write this
hogwash are paid to send it out,
whether or not it gets printed, and
they want to hold onto their jobs.

Test Case May Double
Household Utility Costs

Purveyors of Public Services Seek-
ing Boost On Value of Oper-
ating Equipment

The supreme court of Florida is
coming to grips with a legal prob-
lem that may be reflected on every
household utility bill in the state.
The Florida Railroad and Public
Utilities Commission is defending
its "fair investment" basis for fix-
ing utility rates, with the Jackson-
ville Gas Company as the testing
vehicle.
The gas company, and many of
the other utilities of the state are
contending that they ought to be
allowed to charge rates based on
what is called a "present fair value"
-that is, w h at their operating
equipment would cost if they had
to replace it on today's market.
The commission is contending
that rates ought to be based on
what the utility actually paid for
its equipment, plus the cost of re-
placements, minus the depreciation.
If the utility company basis is
adopted, the commission says it
might result in doubling telephone,
gas, electricity and water rates in
Florida.


GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

Now that September is here, bulb
planting may be started. Prepare
beds with bone meal, sheep manure
and peat humus well before plant-
ing. Fresh manure should never be
used for bulbs. Most bulbs are
planted three times their diameter
in depth. After planting,, the soil
should be firmed down. Bulbs, gen-
erally, will produce finer blooms if
fed a complete balanced plant food
during the growing season. Medium
sized bulbs often establish sooner
than jumbo sized ones and usually
produce better blossoms first year.
Some of the bulbs which can be
planted now are narcissus, watson-
ias, rain lilies, babiana, callas, free-
sias, anemone, spider lily, oxalis,
montbretias and ranunculas.
A free bulb planting guide for
Florida may be obtained from the
Martin Seed Store, 202 E. Bay St.,
Jacksonville. This same store pub-
lishes a monthly leaflet called
"Martin's Garden News," which is
also free.
Question: When should shasta
daisies be fertilized? Answer: Wait
until last of September or October,
then dig, divide and reset them.

Week-enders From Alabama

the state of Florida as a historic
site. The government will get the

THE word "gasoline" is a broad word, as broad as the word "clothes,"

because gasolines, like clothes, vary in quality and make-up.


A suit of clothes, regardless of its tailoring, is no better than the cloth

it is made of; so also is gasoline no better than the base-stock of which it

is made, regardless of how it is trimmed... verbally or otherwise.


A really better gasoline a balanced motor fuel that will give the best

all-round performance in your car-must possess ALL of five impor-

tant qualities;


Good distillation range, to assure easy

starting, proper acceleration, ample power.



SFreedom from the unstable fractions

which cause vapor-lock and loss of mileage.



L ow gum-content, to prevent

.' sticking valves.



Correct seasonal grade, to give best

performance in summer or winter.



Proper octane-number,

for prevention of knock.


Selection of proper crudes and the most advanced refining techniques

result in outstanding performance and the unquestioned leadership oi
